Lots of changes behind the scenes. StateManager, TransitionManager... so many managers.
But it was worth it!
I've also worked on trying out save file creation and loading, including a SaveManager.

What happens if you shut down a game mid-save? Ask 10yo me, who lost 30+ hrs of FF9 to a lightning strike!
Refactored my game's SaveManager this week: writes a temp file, swaps it in once done, keeps old save as backup. Worst case: minutes lost, not everything.

In the tutorial it looks like SaveManager doesn't have access to player at all. SaveSlot is where they're setting the player, and then calling SaveManager functions with that reference. So double-check that part. Also check the remote tree when you run the game to make sure Player spawns as expected

Thank you so much. I moved the variable into the SaveManager and declared it there, then the thing I kept trying (setting the it to "self" from Player) worked. I completely missed the save_slot line and was hyperfocused on the SaveManager script.
You have been an immense help, thank you again.

The biggest feature is:
if ResourceLoader.exists(file_name):
return ResourceLoader.load(file_name)
else:
return SaveFile.new()
We can instruct Godot to check for the existence of a resource, and if it doesn't. Just create a new one.

In these screenshot examples, Our SaveManager is a Singleton, which is always loaded first
Our PlayerStats has a health variable
When our player script is ready, it gets a reference to the resource and then adds 100 health
The next time we save, our save file will have the player's health at 1100
